Intro to the day: “Again I ask you, my brothers and sisters, tell me: which appears to you the greater, the body of Christ, or the word of God? If you are willing to reply, you ought to say that the word of God is not less than the body Of Christ. He who hears the word of God negligently, is no less guilty than he who through his own carelessness would allow the body of Christ to fall to the ground.” –Saint Augustine

Today is Tuesday of the Thirty-fourth Week in Ordinary Time. We are praying for the faculty, staff, and families of St. Mary's Catholic School in Greenville, OH.

In the Gospel, Jesus warns of false “end times.”

Gospel: Luke 21:5-11

Saint of the Day: Saint Peter of Alexandria

Marian prayer for the day: Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help or sought thine intercession was left unaided. 

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of Virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me. 

Amen
